Beautifully PaperbackedRARE 30x40" COLOR!

You'll most likely Never see another one of these again

Extremely Rare 30x40" poster Original Release version and most desirable full sheet movie poster for Hitchcock's masterpiece "North by Northwest". This is the very scarce 30x40" version with much better design than the original one sheet. Only a couple have surfaced on the market in the past 20 years.. This gem has its original bright colors. Very good condition for this larger style full-sheet poster which is typically in bad shape as most theater owners folded them, and hence because of the heavier thicker stock paper then traditional one sheet incurred heavy crease lines.. . This one was rolled and had a slice tear to the bottom area, which has been expertly addressed with professional paperback conservation. It now looks amazing! It will be shipped flat in a large sturdy flat package.

VERY RARE as only one or two of this special style have ever surfaced in the past 30 years!

NOTE UPDATE: This exact poster (in lesser condition) just sold at auction on August 19, 2018 for $7777 !

NOTE: Every professional poster conservationist I've used over the years, recommends Paperbacking for the heavier stock paper posters like half sheets, inserts and this Rare 30x40" style one sheet. This is because paperbacking although it can be rolled, does not result in crinkling of the multi-layer heavy paper stock posers like linen backing could. And while paperbacking provides the same preservation benefits , it is a sturdier backing that prevents crinkling that the traditional thin glossy paper one sheets are not susceptible to..

North by Northwest (MGM, 1959). Poster (30" X 40").
This is master of suspense Alfred Hitchcock's clever tale of an advertising executive (Cary Grant) mistaken for a dangerous international spy and pursued cross country. Eva Marie Saint stars as the mysterious blond who helps him unravel the truth behind the enigmatic chase. While this 30 X 40 uses the same Saul Bass design as the one sheet, it is decidedly different as it is in full color, not duotone. VERY RARE as only one or two of this special style have ever surfaced in the past 30 years!

Prior to Professional Paperbacking, the poster had some crinkling and wear. There were some tears in the border area scuff marks and wear to the borders.. But those were the only minor issues that required restoration. It now looks Amazing ..
